Actually, they put the NY sleepers on the rear and the Boston sleeper upfront normally. Sometimes when there are disruptions on the line to/from Boston, all three sleepers will be together out of NY, which may have been the case in that video. But the normal pattern is 1 up front, 2 in the rear.I think the sleepers are always up front on the #48, because they have to put the Boston section on the back (& don't want Boston coach pax walking through the sleepers to reach the diner...).
Ah! That must have been one of the days they ran a separate stub train from Albany to Boston. They did that regularly for awhile some years back. Boston sleeper pax had to ride in coach cars (and the Boston SCA went with them). I got that "service" once, and another time I had to ride in a combo business/cafe car because there was no sleeper. It makes sense they'd run all three sleepers together when they run the stub train.Actually, they put the NY sleepers on the rear and the Boston sleeper upfront normally.
